I have a few questions about this, as I plan to upgrade as soon as the
final release of Breezy is out:

-How can I make certain of which packages I installed from backports?
-What do I need to do to rectify, in order to upgrade?
-Will the "upgrade to Breezy" offer choices so that nothing will be "broken"?

I do not want to wreck my currently working system, so now I am a
little apprehensive about upgrading.

Thanks for any more info or suggestions.

-Steve.
